Cable Shielding
All cables must maintain high integrity 360 degree shielding, and be constructed with at least 85% braid coverage. When you install inputs and outputs, you must observe proper noise immunity standards. See the EMC Installation drawing at the end of this appendix.
Ferrite Absorbers
To meet the requirements of the EMC directive, you must add

Enclosure Mounting the E-AC Drive
The enclosure must be properly earthed and paint must be removed from drive mounting and RF earth bonding locations. Proper shield termination of all cables entering and exiting the enclosure is required. The motor shield (braid) must be fastened close to the drive’s heatsink. The shield must not make contact with other conductors, as this will cause common mode drive generated PWM current to flow where not expected. The shields of all other cables that enter or exit the enclosure must be RF bonded to the enclosure entrance point via
